I would like to discretize the "tiles" into rectangular prismatic groups, sort each group, then sort the groups by each other or be shown a better way
I have built a comparator which can determine the occlusive relationship between two 0--2-dimensioal affine tiles (using their simplicial representations).
In English, if I have two tiles (a tile is a ...
